Charles H. Spurgeon on Psalms 119:165

They which love thy law. To love a law may Seem strange; but it is the only true divine life. To keep it because we are afraid of its penalties is only a form of fear or prudential consideration. To keep it to preserve a good name may be propriety and respectability. To keep it because it is best for society may be worldly self interest. To keep it because of physical health may be the policy of epicurean philosophy. To keep it because we love it is to show that it is already part of us has entered into the moral texture of our being. Sin then becomes distasteful, and temptations lose their power. W.M. Statham, quoted in "Atictoilette Commentary on the

Psalms", 1879.
